My Sister-in-law must have seen this recipe online because she recommended these very items used in our stuffed potatoes for Christmas. Unfortunately, she didn't think to print out the recipe (and then we purchased, but forgot to use the shallots! oops!) She used too much thyme, and no shallots - but they still tasted awesome. I can only imagine how much better they'd have been had she actually followed the recipe. I would think that the shallots would taste fantastic in these potatoes. I'll have to make this again sometime, and follow the recipe exactly. I bet I'll like it even more than the screwed-up version.

<p>My rating system: (I don't like giving bad reviews, so if I don't like it, I'll just not review it.) <br /><br />5 Stars OMG, this is one of the most amazing things I've ever eaten! I can't stop eating it, and I've eaten myself into a food coma. <br /><br />4 Stars The recipe is wonderful as is. I can't think of a single improvement and I will most likely make it again. <br /><br />3 Stars This needed a little *something*something*. I might make it again, but will add my own improvements if I do. <br /><br />I love to eat! And I love to cook. I tend to take over the kitchen when I get in there. Even the dog knows the command get outta my kitchen! LOL. Cooking for other people and trying new recipes or foods is FUN! I have a small (but growing quickly!!) cookbook collection and one of my favorite things to do is to read recipes and plan meals. Rachael Ray, Horn of the Moon and Moosewood are favorites of mine. <br /><br />We spend a lot of time outdoors camping, hiking and backpacking. Yup. I cook in the woods too! I've made deals with my hiking buddies... If they carry in my food, I'll cook for them. I recently published a backpacking cookbook.
